On Tuesday we carved our pumpkin. Victoria was really excited to use a knife this year. Bella did not enjoy the pumpkin insides.
We also made a scarecrow out of Jer's old pants, a shirt, Hulk hands, and a skeletal head.
Halloween was on a Wednesday this year and the weather was wonderful- 80 degrees. Bella was Merida from the movie Brave, and Victoria was a modern day Wonder Women in a pink costume.
We went to a neighborhood Halloween party before the trick or treating. Then Daddy took the girls out, while I stayed home and sat outside with my next door neighbor Julie to hand out candies. We had a great Halloween.
The next day was our school fund raiser called the Boosterthon Fun Run. I made the banners (about 12 feet by 4 feet) for both the girls' classes. Victoria was part of Team Fancy (her teacher loves Fancy Nancy books) and Bella was part of Carson's Cool Cats (okay, actually it was supposes to be Carson's Cool Kids, but I misunderstood- only Bella was the one who caught it.) The kids were suppose to run through them in the beginning of the race. Bella's class was first, but the second boy who ran through it didn't understand that he wasn't suppose to turn around after running through it and run back the other way- COLLISION with mild tears. So for the next race I held up the banner and the kids went under it; also the teacher asked me to preserve it so that she could hang it in the classroom. Both girls ran for the entire hour that we were outside. They both ran over 35 laps! (I'm glad I gave a flat donation.)
The kids Bella plays with during recess- Nyahla and Kate
Victoria's close friend that she has been in class with and known for 2 years- Layla
I was inspired this past week to do a modern painting. It has texture and movement to it. Jer calls it the Coffee Tornado, but I kind of think of it as what the trip to heaven might look like. It's 2 feet by 4 feet and hanging in my kitchen.
